Kickstart Your Nursing Career with Queensford College (March 2026 Intake)
As the Australian healthcare sector continues to expand, the demand for skilled nursing professionals has reached an all-time high. If you are looking for a career that combines job security, a professional salary, and a clear pathway to Permanent Residency, starting your journey now is a strategic move for your future.
Below are the essential details for the upcoming intake at Queensford College.
One of the most critical steps in your application is meeting the English language proficiency standards. Because nursing requires precise communication for patient safety, the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) sets a high bar for all applicants.
To be eligible for the March intake at the Parramatta or Brisbane campuses, international students must provide evidence of:
While these requirements are strict, they ensure you are fully prepared for the complex environment of an Australian hospital. At Mates International, we can review your current scores and provide guidance on the best pathways if you need to improve your results before the March deadline.
It’s no secret that nursing is one of the most reliable pathways to Permanent Residency (PR) in Australia. By completing your Diploma at Queensford College, you qualify to register with AHPRA as an Enrolled Nurse (EN).
This isn't just about a visa; it’s about a career ladder. Many of our students start as Enrolled Nurses, gain their residency, and then use their work experience to fast-track into a Bachelor of Nursing to become Registered Nurses. It’s a strategic move that allows you to earn a professional salary (often between $65,000–$75,000 for ENs) while you continue your professional journey.
What sets Queensford College apart is its commitment to "Job Readiness." Whether you study at the Parramatta campus or the Brisbane campus, you will have access to state-of-the-art simulation labs. These labs are designed to look exactly like Australian hospital wards, equipped with modern medical technology and mannequins.
Furthermore, Queensford College removes the stress of finding your own practical experience. The course includes 400 hours of clinical placement, fully managed and facilitated by the college. You will gain hands-on experience in diverse settings, including aged care, mental health, and acute care, ensuring you graduate with a professional network already in place.
With the intake date of March fast approaching, the window for visa processing and document verification is closing. There are no scholarships available for this highly competitive program, and seats at both the Sydney and Brisbane campuses fill up quickly.
At Mates International, we take the guesswork out of the application. From verifying your IELTS/PTE results to managing your GTE requirements and visa lodgment, we are here to ensure your transition to Queensford College is seamless.
